車いすで観光 築地場内市場

Field Work on a Wheelchair at the Tsukiji inner market

The Tsukiji market was closed and moved to Toyosu after it finished the morning session on October 6, 2018. The outer markets still remain the same, so I think the spirit as the base for food and tourism will continue.

築地を記憶に留める意味で簡単に場内の様子を紹介しておきます。

I will introduce the inner market briefly in order to keep Tsukiji in memory.

The market was a popular tourist base for foreigners from early morning during opening hours. The Tuna auction sale tours and Japanese and Western food shops were popular, so there were always big lines and it was hard for people to enter.

魚市場Fish market

築地市場は日本各地から季節ごとに集まる魚市場がメインで、中はこんな感じでした。The fish market was the main place in Tsukiji where fish gathered every season from all over Japan. And the inside was like this.

中でもマグロの取り扱いが有名。Tuna handling is particularly famous.

他にも季節ごとに旬の食材であふれていました。Besides, every season was full of seasonal food stuff.

青果市場Vegetable and fruit market

青果の取り扱いでも人気で、こちらも季節の野菜がいつも並んでいました。It is also popular in the handling of fruits and vegetables of seasons and always lined up here as well.

こちらも観光客には人気でした。This was also popular for tourists.

魚がし横町Uogashi sideways

In addition to the markets there was a shopping area called “Uogashi Yokocho". There were shops in several buildings selling various items and eating and drinking establishments where various meals were offered. Sushi shops and shops of seafood bowl were popular, but there were various restaurants in both Japanese and Western style.

飲食店の前はいつも観光客の行列ができていた。そんな場内を荷物を引っ張る二車台車やターレーという電気自動車が走り回っていた。There were always tourist queues in front of the restaurants. Two-car trucks and electric cars called turret trucks were running carrying goods around in the area.

そんな中に魚河岸水神社もあったのが築地市場であった。Among them the Fish Market Water Shrine was there in the Tsukiji market.
